Read More ASEAN Rights Groups rally against UN Cybercrime Treaty’s Threat to Liberty and Privacy
ASEAN (5 August 2024) - As the negotiations for the UN Cybercrime Treaty draw to a close on 9 August, we, members of the ASEAN Regional Coalition to #StopDigitalDictatorship and Southeast Asia Collaborative Policy Coalition (SEA CPN), voice our profound concerns regarding the numerous provisions within the treaty that significantly threaten civil liberties, privacy rights, and the protection of human rights activists globally. This treaty, proposed to foster international cooperation against cybercrime, appears to grant overly broad powers to States at the expense of individual freedoms and privacy. Proposed key elements of the treaty will allow States to abrogate their obligations under existing human rights treaties, and therefore undermine fundamental human rights norms.

Read More Conviction of Mother Nature Activists is a National Shame
The Phnom Penh Capital Court’s conviction and sentencing of 10 Mother Nature activists to 6-8 years in prison, and the arrest of five of them on 2 July 2024, is a shame for our nation. Silencing environmental defenders and characterising their peaceful advocacy as a threat to the state is a mockery of justice. It is well past time for authorities to listen to and work with youth and environmental activists. Stop spending resources harassing, threatening and prosecuting the brave and passionate young people who are working to protect Cambodia’s most precious natural resources.

Read More JOINT STATEMENT Cambodia and Italy Must Not Recommence Intercountry Adoptions / DICHIARAZIONE CONGIUNTA Cambogia e Italia non riaprano le adozioni internazionali
We, the undersigned organisations, call on the Cambodian and Italian governments to immediately halt the reopening of intercountry adoptions. Cambodia has not enacted safeguards that will sufficiently protect the best interests of the child or prevent reoccurrences of the severe fraud and corruption that marked intercountry adoptions in the past. Noi, sottoscritte organizzazioni, lanciamo un appello ai governi di Cambogia e Italia affinché blocchino immediatamente la riapertura delle adozioni internazionali. La Cambogia non ha implementato sistemi di protezione in grado di tutelare il massimo interesse dei bambini o di prevenire il ripresentarsi di gravi problemi di frode e corruzione che hanno in passato caratterizzato il sistema delle adozioni internazionali.
